shuts out all carpenters at work upon brick or
stone buildings. but does not affect those at work
frame buildings, hence the only way to secure
a complete lockout of those laborers is to de-
mand that they return to the longer day.

banded together, and represent combination
that would alone cause lockout. The brick
